Day 14
Had a different start to our day - we had to catch a ferry across The Gironde Estuary which wasn’t leaving until 11 so after breakfast we went round the Citadel - a big old fortification with buildings inside which was a garrison back in 1600s Great few across the estuary and beyond . Caught the ferry - about 30 min trip to Lamarque where we had very expensive coffee before finally pedalling off. Arrived in the outskirts of Bordeaux - very hot again so decided to stop at a funny little cafe in a van by a lake with camping - on closer inspection we decided all the campers were infact refugees ! and we were in the middle of their camp ! They sold us drinks and on we went dodging traffic through the centre of Bordeaux past some beautiful big buildings . We followed google maps to our hotel ( nearly ended up on a motorway type road except I spotted the sign banning cycled just in time !) Finally found the hotel on an industrial estate- not my best booking but just standard hotel inside
